    <h3>Activities</h3>
    <p>Several Groups are hosting activities around and during the conference.  Here are the ones we know about.  If we've missed any email us [social@gopheracademy.com] and we'll update this page.</p>
    <h3>Kickoff Party - Wednesday Night</h3>
    <p>
      <img src="/img/gophers.png" class="left" />
     Docker, CoreOS, SourceGraph, Iron.io and the Denver Gophers are presenting a kickoff party on Wednesday, April 23rd in the evening.  RSVP on <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Denver-Go-Language-User-Group/events/159413352/">Meetup</a>.
    </p>
    <h3>Opening Night After Party - Thursday Night</h3>
    <p>
      <img src="/img/hardhat.png" class="left" />
    Our Diamond sponsor Google is hosting an Opening Night party at the Wynkoop Brewery.  We'll have exclusive use of the entire second floor, where you can enjoy pool tables, dart boards, table shuffleboard, ski-ball, dome hockey, and foosball.  Appetizers and some of Colorado's most award-winning microbrews will be served.
    </p>
    <p>The Wynkoop is just a short walk from the host hotel, or you can use the free busses that go up and down the 16th street mall.</p>
    <h3>Friday Night Pub Crawl</h3>
    <p>CoreOS is putting on a pub crawl starting at 5:30 PM on Friday evening.  They will be distributing fliers with the route map at the conference.</p>
    <h3>Friday Night Coffee Shop Crawl</h3>
    <p>If a pub crawl isn't your style, join in a coffee shop tour.  See the <a href="http://julia-allyce.github.io/gophercon-coffee/">map</a> for more information.  Interested participants can meet at the hotel at 5:30 PM on Friday.  
    <h3>Hack Day - Saturday</h3>
    <p>
      <img src="/img/scholar.png" class="left" />
    Hang out with all your Gopher friends on Saturday at the hotel.  Our "Hack Day" is an unofficial day of the conference where we'll provide you with a comfortable place to hang out, socialize, organize lightning talks, or hold demonstrations of your products, services, toys, etc.
    </p>
    <p>
    	While the Hack Day is mostly unorganized time for you to hang out with your friends and get some time in to work on new projects, there will be a few activities that have more concrete schedules.
    </p>
    <p>
    At 10AM we will have lightning talks.  Anyone interested in presenting a talk less than 10 minutes may sign up <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZY8HAz7Q2eftbtfLeaWA-ajJglK3hJGa6O0DE6QgU94/edit#gid=0">on this form.</a>  We will have a projector if you wish to live code or present a few slides.
    </p>
	<p>
		A few companies, including Google, will be offering workshops in the afternoon.  Check your email this week for a special offers from our sponsors as they will directly affect your ability to participate in some of these workshops.
